Dear Expectant Mom

Dear Expectant Mother,

First of all we want to thank you for
considering this very courageous act and especially for considering us for the
special gift of your child. This would be the most precious gift ever given to
us and we will cherish your child until our dying breath!!

Let us introduce ourselves to you, we are
Jackie and David. We met online in 2003 and got married in May of 2007. Wow has
the time flown by!! We both brought something to the relationship, from
Jackie’s organizational skills and love for trying things new, to David’s love
of history and his way of making everything we do fun. We both like to travel
to new places that we have never to and will continue that with your child.

We have always wanted to have children, but have
been unable to conceive a child. Family has always been an important part of
our lives and we’ve always felt strongly that the love we have for each other
needs to be shared with another. First came our cat “Rocky,” who we love
dearly, but that was not enough. We wanted a baby, and since Jackie was adopted
we knew that adoption would be a wonderful way to make the miracle of becoming
a mom and dad happen. A few years in to our relationship and with the support
of her family, Jackie found her birth family and they are now an extension of
our family. Jackie knows what it is like to live in a wonderful, loving,
adoptive family, and we will raise your child in the same way; he or she will
know that they are loved by many.

Our home is just the right size to raise a
child. It is in the same town Jackie grew up in, and right next to the town
David grew up in. Family is close by and we usually have dinner with Jackie’s
parents every Sunday. We have access to several parks and other areas in the
town where we hope to take your child to for playtime. We have a zoo in the
next town over that is great for kids and it continues to grow with more
attractions and animals. Living in New England, we are lucky to take advantage
of all four seasons. Some stay longer than expected, but we enjoy them all. We
like to go to a local apple orchard in the fall to pick apples and pumpkins. The
orchard has hay rides, a playground and a petting zoo for families to enjoy
while visiting. During the spring time they have a strawberry field we like to
go to as well. Since David is a big history buff, we know that there will be
outings to some of the historical places like Plymouth Plantation and Boston’s
historical locations.

We want to thank you for considering us as
the family for your child and we know that this difficult decision is being
made out of love for your child. Our favorite poem is “Legacy of an adopted
child”, which is hanging in the nursery, and the last line reads “Heredity or
environment – Which are you a product of? Neither, my darling, Just two
different kinds of love!!

LoveJackie and David

Q & A

Q: When you have a 3-day weekend, what do you like to do?

A: When we have a three-day weekend we like to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible. Being cooped up inside most of the week at our jobs, we like to get out on the weekends. Living in New England we have the best of both worlds. We can drive north and west to the mountains or east and south to the ocean. We love to enjoy all four seasons that we have. We have driven to New Hampshire a couple times in the winter to take in the mountains and the snow. We have driven to several east coast states in the summer to enjoy beaches and take in the sun. In the fall we love to go to a local orchard and pick apples, which end up in a pie!

Q: Do you have pets? If so tell us about them?

A: We have a 6-year-old black cat named Rocky that we adopted on our first year wedding anniversary. He has a little white spot on his chest, which looks like a bow tie, and when he sits up he looks so distinguished. He is a sweet, well-tempered cat who will do well with a baby in the house. He is a joy to have around and always greets us when we come home from a long day with, what Jackie calls, a "Stop, Drop and Roll" greeting. We think he does this to get our attention, as we have to stop what we're doing to greet him with a rub on the belly!

Q: What do you hope to teach your children?

A: We hope to teach our child that nothing is handed to him or her in life and that hard work can help bring achievement. We also would like to teach our child that if he or she needs anything from us, he or she could always come to us, good or bad, without any judgments. We would like to teach our child to cherish the gifts he or she has been given. We also want our child to know that he or she is born in a country where there are no limits in his or her ability to get somewhere in life, with only limits bound by his or her imagination. We would also teach our child the sense of right and wrong, and that good and bad behavior come with a price.

Q: What will you tell your child about his/her birthmother?

A: When I was growing up my mother always told my sister and me that we were adopted. She told us that, wherever our birth mothers were, they made a hard decision to place us for adoption, and she would always be grateful for their amazing gifts. When I found my birth mother a few years back, my mother told her that! My husband and I feel the same way about our future birth mother. We will let her child know that even though he or she came from another mother, he or she was the best gift we could have ever been given. We have so much love to give that her mother felt we were the right couple to raise her baby!

Q: How will a child enrich your life?

A: A child will add to the existing love we have for each other. A child makes everything better as we will see the enjoyment coming through his or her eyes and actions. He or she will make our lives fuller than they already are.
